The tracks in "DNase hypersensitivity sites" show regions where the chromatin is hypersensitive to cutting by the DNase enzyme. In Genome Browser, the tracks can be loaded individually for each cell type or as a supertrack consisting of DNase hypersensitivity sites from all cell types. At the functional level hypersensitive sites often represent transcriptional active regions.

DNase hypersensitivity sites are available for the cell types listed below.

The tracks in "Histone modifications" show regions with modifications of the histones H3k27ac, H3K4me1-3 and H3K9ac. In Genome Browser, the tracks can be loaded individually for each cell type or as histone-specific supertracks combined of all cell types. The original ENCODE tracks have been post-processed by Genomatix. Overlapping regions have been merged and the maximum score has been assigned to the merged regions. The score represents the maximum signal strength observed in any cell type. At the functional level the histone peaks are associated with transcriptional activity.

Histone modification data is available for the cell types listed below.

The tracks in the categories "TF binding site", "Polyermase binding site" and "Other factor binding site" show ChIP-Seq peaks of more than 120 factors. The original ENCODE data has been post-processed by Genomatix. Overlapping regions of the same factor and same cell type (but different antibody or treatment) have been merged and the maximum score has been assigned to the merged regions. The score represents the maximum signal strength observed in the cell types.
